UNESCO Cities of Literature

UNESCO Cities of Literature Dr Charles Mansfield wrote ‘Millbay & Mill Bay’, for the UNESCO Cities of Literature Project for Devon and Exeter. British Council Connections Through Cultures For me the project: ‘Bridging Cities: Exeter X Jakarta’ organised through the British Council’s Connections Through Cultures programme has developed my writing along with my presence across the publishing community. From the mentoring session with Carla Jenkins of Raw Writing (Exeter), I have extended the use of dialogue in my meta-fiction writing. Further, Carla invited me to a writers’ workshop she had organised within Special Collections at the University of Exeter Old Library. We examined the archive of letters between authors from the last century and this prompted me to begin a new writing experiment using the WhatsApp Community feature on smartphones. Curatorial staff at the University of Exeter Library have remained in contact with me to share their knowledge of archiving WhatsApp and ...

CNRS

❧  CNRS LAMOP Le Mystère des Actes des Apôtres The Mystery of the Apostles' Acts by Simon Gréban is the largest production in the history of western theatre. Written towards the middle of the 1470s for the account of King René of Anjou and using almost 500 characters, its monumental scale (60 000 lines playing over nine days) has discouraged academic editors up until now. The text is known by two series of manuscripts and three printed versions from the sixteenth century. Two productions are documented: one in Bourges (at Arênes, 1536) and one in Paris (at the Flanders Hotel, 1541). Project EELMAA The aim of the online electronic edition of The Mystery of the Apostles' Acts is to make available a new, full-scale source document both for linguists and for historians. It will be of relevance to the study of ecclesiastical and reformation history, as well as to the history of the theatre, of literature and of language.

Subtle Intricacies by Swarnim Agrawal

 In Subtle Intricacies , Swarnim Agrawal reflects on what it means to write about mental health in a time when its language is widely circulated, commodified, and often simplified. Partly inspired by personal experience, the collection resists clinical coldness and instead dwells in the intimate textures of everyday life - fleeting moods, quiet insecurities, relational fractures, and moments of becoming. These poems explore how ordinary experiences carry emotional weight long before they acquire diagnostic names. Through subtle tonal shifts and lyrical vulnerability, the collection seeks conversation over categorisation, offering readers companionship, recognition, and an expanded vocabulary for mental health and human connection. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Swarnim is currently pursuing her PhD at the Amity Institute of English Studies and Research. She holds an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Exeter. Her work has appeared in journals and anthologies, and she performs at open m...
